Nice topic gear change without a clutch. =) Drive shaft bike [i]owners[/i] typically cannot wheelie. I had my GL1800 up on one wheel more than once. Sadly, I missed out on the Jennifer days on the list. =( eddie

Driveshaft Wheelies: On my K1200lt, I lifted my front tire about 16-20 inch's 5-6 times, BY ACCIDENT, each time. (trying to get across, and merge onto a busy city street.)

How about posting a Jennifer picture, huh? How about it? Good idea, right? I'm a genius to bring this great idea up. Robert P Wichert P.Eng. Inc. LEED AP, HERS II, CEA +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ================================================

As I remember it, the only photo of Jennifer was her debut as swimsuit model in the spring 2000 edition of the JC Penny s catalog.   Jennifer s introduction to our KLR list began with this post: hello I got a KLR about a year ago, but I would like to raise it back to the normal height. I think the person who had it before (ex- boyfriend) lowered it in some way. Can anyone tell me where I can get this information? Thank you. -[b]Jennifer[/b] jenJBphun@... 28 Sep, 2000   For those of you that don t know the Jennifer saga, you can read all 800+ posts about her life and untimely death here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/DSN_KLR650/search/messages?query=jennifer   RIP Jenn  ;-(   Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com   [b]From:[/b] robert@...

Hey Eddie & ALL Give us a Name and address. "Bad" service, When someone is simply not "happy" about the service they received they post it quickly and word spreads FAST, especially with the web. We should also let the ones we feel did/do a good job, get there Applause. People can (SHOULD) contact the dealer telling them they are getting a THUMBS UP. It seems SAD, Humans that are supposed to be, the smartest creatures on the planet, (I disagree) will put more time, effort, and money, in to NEGITIVE actions, then POSITIVE. Lets let this shop know, They may have a future customer from 2000 miles away stop in because we heard he took good care of you. PS. Fred, I have told you IN PERSON, and phone, I tell everyone (with a D.S. bike) I meet on the road to look up your shop for parts, and stop in if ever in the area. THANKS.
